The Jamboxx is different in that it can be adapted to your own breath capability and preferences. You can use the slightest sips and puffs to play any instrument from violin to trumpet to electric guitar. The Jamboxx Pro’s mouthpiece includes a set screw to adjust how much air pressure flows through. With the mouthpiece closed you can use just breath pressure to play notes, which can make it easier to play sustained notes and enable very quick triggering of notes faster than traditional instruments.

The Jamboxx supports standard chromatic and diatonic harmonica scales with 8, 10, 12 or 16 note positions. The Jamboxx button can be set to act identically to a chromatic harmonica button to access half steps.

Finally, we provide tactile feel via note bumps on the Jamboxx Pro.

What’s the Jamboxx’s most powerful feature

Does the Jamboxx generate its own sound?
